Chapter 712 10 Everything Is Cute as Long as It Is Small, but when They Grow Up

Chapter 712 10. Everything is cute as long as it is small, but when they grow up

The base of the rebel army was already underground, but the old Luthor felt that it was obviously not safe, so he dug a secret dark room in his underground office that led to the lower part.

It's like a bug that doesn't have much resistance to external dangers. When it predicts that the danger is coming, it will always dig down, trying to protect itself with the tenacity of the thick earth.

Although it is clumsy to keep some secrets in this primitive way, it is quite suitable, and the current depth of hiding can already isolate all mechanical and life signal searches in Hope City, which is enough to ensure that most activities will not disturb the surface.

In fact, digging a hole to hide itself in times of danger is not just the way of bugs, but also the instinct of human beings to survive.

Mason thought so at first, but when he really saw what old Luther was hiding here, he suddenly realized that it might not be just for the simple reason that he wanted to hide underground with the rebels.

"What kind of weird thing is this?"

Harry let out an exclamation holding his cute face.

The well-informed captain also stared wide-eyed, and even the ooze monster Kevin poked his head out of Mason's shoulder and looked forward, his mud-shaped face was full of surprise and disbelief.

Quinn, who was the most vigilant, had pulled out the clown pistol and loaded it with a click, while the dogs under their feet also grinned and made preparations to pounce.

In front of them was old Luther holding a small humanoid in his arms.

Its posture is no different from that of a child of a few years old.

But his skin is blue, not the blue of Avatar, but closer to the blue plume that energy will emit when it reaches the ion state.

This kind of skin is eye-catching enough, but apart from the skin, the child's forehead, shoulders, arms and legs also have technological devices similar to crystal attachments. Just looking at the shape, it should be used to gather and adjust energy The diffractive device, paired with his small body, adds a lot of "industrial beauty" to this child.

These are not the most surprising features. The blue-skinned child's left hand is not five fingers extending from the wrist, but slender mechanical tentacles, which are like the tentacles of an octopus, floating in the air flexibly.

At the top of its tentacles, there are arc spots that will erupt when the energy jumps in contact with the air.

The latter is clearly wise.

He was very close to the old Luther, but when he saw the strangers in Mason, he showed obvious fear and vigilance. He kept hiding in the arms of the old Luther, and looked at them with big blue eyes. , panic could be seen in those clear pupils.

He seemed to realize that he was different from normal people, so he was a little ashamed to meet people.

If it's just a strange appearance and a mechanical body, it's not enough to make Mason feel strange and surprised, but the energy level emanating from this little guy who is held in Luthor's arms in front of him really makes people feel heartfelt. fear.

The energy readings detected by the watch have exceeded the explosive limit of atomic energy released by a standard nuclear bomb at the core of the explosion.

This is still under the condition that the little blue boy is in a calm and stable state. Once he is frightened and explodes or the energy in his body loses control, it is conservatively estimated that his energy release can destroy the entire underground base and all the existences inside within one thousandth of a second. If sex is erased, it is estimated that only Fengyi Chao and Baiyi Beka, which cannot be compared with ordinary theories, can survive.

"Harry, Quinn, wait for me outside the door with the dog."

Mason pushed the mirror frame on the bridge of his nose, and said something to the cuties in a serious tone.

Harley had already pulled out the clown camera and planned to take a photo as a souvenir, but the camera couldn't work because of the energy interference from that little guy. The surprise on her face was as strange as seeing a giant panda punching Kun in the zoo.

Facing the instructions of the little sweetheart, she snorted, but still dragged the grinning dogs and turned away, leaving only Mason, old Luthor and the strange blue-skinned little boy here.

"You recognize him?"

Old Luther asked, then reached out and took out a strange metal Rubik's cube and placed it in front of the blue-skinned child.

The latter only used willpower to make the thing levitate and spin in the air with a crackling sound, as if playing a boring game, and the entire Rubik's Cube returned to its place in less than a second.

It seemed that this was not a challenge, so he broke the Rubik's Cube into small cubes in the blink of an eye, and formed them into a strange metal group in the next moment.

This scene allowed Mason to see in more detail the boy's ability to affect matter.

He pursed his lips and said:

"Is this a Brainiac hatchling? How did you make him?"

"Using artificial intelligence plus some biotechnology from Krypton, through the deep self-learning of AI to generate cognition, thereby creating a mechanical life that can manipulate huge energy and has great potential."

Luther stroked the head of little Brainiac in his arms, as gentle as if he was treating his own grandson. He explained in a low tone:

"This plan has already been verified in our world before the impact, and in the vanilla era when there is no need to worry about the end of the stars, some of us radicals even made a prototype under the order of the president.

Unfortunately, the prototype went out of control as expected.

It was a terrible accident. In just two hours from the time when the prototype produced intelligence to his demise, he flattened one-tenth of the east coast in a completely uncontrollable manner, and that was only because he had just been born Problems with the structure of the prototype caused him to feel extreme pain and unable to suppress the energy in his body.

Since then, the plan has been put on hold until I picked it up again and improved the drawings.

Xiaobu in my arms is machine number two.

He was born one year and seven months ago, and has been kept here by me. With the help of the deep learning of the advanced technology of the Cree people in the sixth sequence, he can already control his energy and super intelligence very well.

I haven't seen any other Brainiacs, but I hear you killed an adult? "

"Yes, it was a war that no one wanted to see."

Mason stepped forward, under the gaze of Xiaobu's eyes, he stretched out his hand and tried to touch him, but when he got close, he could feel an invisible energy field hindering his fingers.

It seemed that this little guy didn't like being touched by life other than old Luther, especially Mason.

Probably because the captain killed a Brainiac with his own hands. If the mechanical life forms also have space-time variants, it would be equivalent to Mason killing another him.

This is enough to make a child with wisdom feel intimidated.

"Is he the final weapon you have prepared for this resistance?"

The captain took a step back and asked:

"I have no doubts about his destructive power, but is he sure that he can take on such a mission? His mind seems to be immature. If you use Old Bu's standard for testing life intelligence, this little guy can reach level nine at most Or tenth-level intelligence, which is still far from the twelfth-level intelligence of a complete body.

And he lacks a lot of attack methods that belonged to Old Bu, but the destructive power that a pure energy burst can exert when facing the elite troops of the council is not strong. "

"This is also what I am worried about. I originally planned to let Xiaobu act together with Superman and his teammates, but this plan to create life was selected to suppress Superman at the beginning."

Old Luther sighed and said:

"In the world of the vanilla era, because my adopted son's uncontrolled personality and unstable violent factors in his blood make him a guardian, it also makes him a threat in the eyes of many people.

Facts have proved that the prototype body cannot achieve the purpose of suppressing Superman, which is another reason why this project was abandoned. Although I modified the cognitive program so that he is no longer hostile to Superman, it is still very difficult to get them to cooperate.

I even planned to give up Xiaobu and send him out of this dangerous world.

But without his strength and ability, what we can do will be greatly limited, but your appearance makes Xiao Bu useful again. "

The bald leader of the rebel army handed Xiaobu in his arms to Mason, and he said:

"Tomorrow morning, let him accompany you.

I know you may be able to deal with those threats on your own without our help, but if this is our common cause, then I think we should also do our part.

Boo will protect you. "

"I don't think I can be protected by a blue-skinned mechanical elf, let alone an adult who I have killed."

Mason bent down and met the little Brainiac who was suspended from the old Luther's arms.

He tilted his head and blinked and made a face at the silent but decidedly intelligent mechanical kid in front of him, who seemed startled and flinched but soon realized that it was Mason's kindness.

So he hesitated for a moment, and put a stiff smile on his face, which triggered the uncanny valley effect of the captain, making the latter scratch his head for a while.

After thinking for a while, Mason took out the silver activation key, and after pressing the switch, the power armor of the universe's power stored in the hyperspace appeared beside him in a flash.

This "decisive weapon" belonging to the old Brainiac immediately attracted the attention of the young Brainiac as soon as it appeared. The latter's eyes were rounded, and the undisguised love and yearning were reflected in the clear eyes.

Obviously, although he has not had any contact with other Brainiacs, the common aesthetics and preferences among space-time aliens still make him full of curiosity about this set of power armor.

"When I don't need it, you may be able to control it for me."

Mason handed the silver key in his hand to Xiaobu in front of him, saying:

"This thing is the 'wheelchair armor' developed by Lao Bu for himself. Its underlying structural framework is set up for a cyborg like you. Although my brothers have tried their best to transform it, its original interface is still preserved. , you can manipulate it the Brainiac way.

By the way, help me maintain the power armor system. "

The blue little cloth suspended in the air nodded vigorously, and was about to reach out to pick up Mason's activation key, but the latter retracted his fingers, as if playing a game, and stretched out his hand to flick on Xiaobu's forehead inlaid with an energy diffracter. For a moment, the latter hugged his hair and let out a cry of pain.

"Is that what your grandpa taught you? What do you say when someone gives you a toy?"

The chief captain asked with his hips on his hips. Little Brainiac, who was suspended in the air, was obviously a little angry. The mechanical tentacles on his left arm had already stretched out like a group of predatory snakes, trying to wrap Mason up and beat him up. .

But as the old Luther coughed moderately behind him, Xiao Bu immediately became obedient.

He stared at Mason, rather reluctantly lowered his head and said in a mosquito-like voice:

"Thank you uncle."

"Called 'brother', I'm not that old."

Mason grinned, threw the activation key to Xiao Bu, and watched the other party float into the cockpit that bounced off. Instead of using normal access, he connected the mechanical tentacles of his left hand to the master of the universe without a teacher. In each original interface of Power Armor.

He was a little unskilled at first, and was frequently blocked by the firewall written by the engineer, but his eyes reflected a huge torrent of blue data, which was almost an exhaustive hard cracking method. After a few minutes, he empowered himself and became a The No. 2 driver of the active power armor of the universe, after closing the silver armor in the cockpit, the silver armor began to move as if it had life.

"Ha, the genius kid driving the Gundam, this scene is really great."

Mason hugged his arms and snorted, and the active power armor of the universe in front of him also imitated his movement and completed the movement of folding his arms, and the flexibility was smoother than Mason's manipulation.

This is also normal.

This is the legacy of the old cloth, and it is quite appropriate to be driven by another Brainiac.

"This set of power armor can stabilize his immature mind and ensure that he can suppress his self-destruction in the event of his possible energy rampage."

Mason said to the old Luthor who was leaning on a cane beside him:

"You taught Xiao Bu well. He didn't try to take control of this power armor away from me. He is a polite boy."

"He won't always be so nice."

Luther sighed and said:

"Actually, I'm already a bit powerless to deal with his rapidly growing thinking with my wisdom, and I entrust him to you because you may be the only life that can suppress him.

After all, I made the child myself, and I don't want to see him follow the old path of other Brainiacs in the future.

This is also a request. "

After finishing speaking, the leader of the rebel army turned around and took out the fragmented copy of Rorschach's diary in his hand from the safe in the secret room, and handed it to Mason.

He said:

"Here is the content of Rorschach's plan to find the end star. Maybe it can give you some inspiration between the lines. It is of little significance to us rebels who only want to overthrow the rule of the council. The end star is ours. Things that are incapable of touching."

"Don't be so condescending."

Mason took the diary but didn't open it right away. He said to the old Luthor who was getting old but straight in front of him:

"Maybe you should think about how to take over the planet and integrate it into the system of the new utopia plan after occupying and controlling Hope City.

I believe that you have your own understanding of the direction and planning of the future world. After waiting for what I needed to do last night, you can have an in-depth discussion on this issue with some of my companions who are obsessed with the art of governance and conquest plans. "

"I'm already old."

Old Luther shook his head. He looked at little Brainiac who was walking around in the secret room in the power armor of the main universe, and said softly:

"I should have been alive on the day my world was taken and looted, and every day I'm still alive is a heavy blessing to me.

Just as you have your own firm goals and put them into practice, although my colleagues and I cannot achieve the careers like yours, we also have our own pursuits.

Seeing that we can disrupt the doomsday era with our own power and cause it to collapse and die in a barbaric organization is probably the best and most outstanding achievement we can do under these dark stars.

As for the future

The future does not belong to me.

Anyone who is interested can participate and start the prelude to the re-competition. If I can see the day when the council collapses, then returning to my world and dying is the best ending I can get. "

After finishing speaking, the crippled old man stepped forward leaning on a cane, and helped Brainiac Jr., who bounced off the cockpit, adjust some connection parameters of the power armor.

As for Mason, the captain looked back at the busyness of the weird grandpa and grandson, he shrugged, and left the secret room with the fragmented copy of Rorschach's diary in his hand.

It's time to read on from the sociopath's diary, unravel the mystery of the Endstar and prepare to advance on your final mission.

Hey Doom, hide your head and show your tail, hold on, Grandpa will be visiting you soon.
